Just to add to verax's response a bit, we'll respond to National
Socialist content the same way we would Anarchist or Communist content.
Any special scrutiny given any ideology as a whole would violate the
premise and spirit of our charter, and threaten our ability to
impartially govern the project and its registrants use of the name
space.

Sites and their owners will be dealt with as individuals. Refer to
verax on what activity or request constitute grounds for intervention.
